Bayo Onanuga Defends Tinubu’s International Vacation Amid Criticism
Bayo Onanuga, a presidential aide, responded to Nigerians criticizing President Bola Tinubu for traveling to the UK and France for his leave, saying, “He can go anywhere.”
Onanuga’s statement emphasizes that President Tinubu, like any individual, has the right to choose where he spends his personal time or vacation.
This remark comes in response to public scrutiny over the president’s choice to leave the country for his break, with some critics likely questioning whether it was appropriate for the president to go abroad rather than staying within Nigeria.
Onanuga’s defense suggests that the president’s decision is a personal one, and that it should not be a subject of controversy or criticism.
The conversation around this may also reflect broader public sentiments on leadership visibility and priorities, particularly in times of national concern.
However, the aide’s statement highlights that it is within Tinubu’s discretion to travel where he wishes during his leave.
